  General Conditions

  By monitoring, reviewing and updating our policies and procedures we will ensure that licensing objectives are met.

   

  Crime and Disorder

Cameras shall (where permitted) encompass all ingress and egress from the premises including fire exists, outside areas and all working areas where the sale/supply of alcohol occurs.  The CCTV system within the premises is remotely monitored 24 hours a day by the Society's control centre at Wherstead Park.  In the event of an incident being reported, the footage will be downloaded at Wherstead Park, time and date marked, and retained for no less tha 28 days.  The footage will be made available to the police/local authority within 36 hours of their request.

   

  2. Records of all incidents (injury/refusals/age challenge) will be kept and maintained on the premises.  Records are time and date marked and produced to the police/licening officers on demand.  A record of all injury/accidents on the premises will also be maintained off-site at Wherstead Park.

   

  Public Safety

  The store manager will retain responsibility for the premises whilst it is open, with a wider management team to support and deputise in their absence.  Bespoke policies, procedures and risk assessments have been developed and enforced to ensure and maintain the health, safety and welfare and security of employes and the public at the premises.

   

  Prevention of Public Nuisance

  Whilst recognising that it cannot be responsible for the conduct of third parties, the Society will continue to take action to alleviate public nuisance on and in the immediate vicinity of its premises by means of propoerly considered hours of operation during which alcohol and other age-related products will be sold to the public.

   

  Protection of children from harm

  The Society has in place policies for the regular training of its employees to prevent the sale of alcohol to those under the age of 18 years.  The Society maintains a refusals register at the premises. The Society's policy requires its employees to actively challenge any individual who wishes to purcahse alcohol or any other related product, but appears to be under 25 years of age (Challenge 25), to prove their age by means of photographic identification.

   

  The Society actively supports the use of photo identity cards and will use the Citizen Card where local authority schemes are not available or suitable.  All staff are trained on the Society's Challenge 25 policy (including the complettion of a questionnaire) prior to being permitted to serve alcohol.  Management are trained to the minimum standard of Highfield Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders.Training records are maintained at the Society's head office and will be available upon request by the police and local authority licensing officers.  Staff members receive re-fresher training every 6 months to ensure that they are up to date with the latest legislation/policies.
